Quintain, the award-winning developer behind Wembley Park, is today announcing a new GP ‘super surgery’ to open at the heart of Wembley Park. When operational, it will be the largest NHS GP practice in the borough of Brent, serving up to 25,000 patients.
The 11,000 sq. ft space will be operated by Wembley Park Medical Centre, relocating from Wembley Park Drive to Humphry Repton Lane close to Olympic Way and Boxpark Wembley, a 10-minute walk from their old premises.
The build will create state-of-the-art general practice medical spaces including two clinical suites, 14 consult exam rooms, four treatment rooms, and an e-consult room. It has been designed with a double height reception and waiting area into the ground floor of the Repton Gardens residential development at the heart of Wembley Park.
The announcement of the NHS super surgery is a significant milestone in the delivery of the Wembley Park neighbourhood, which has been planned from the start to provide all the community facilities everyone needs within easy reach.
The surgery will be delivered by Quintain as part of the Repton Gardens development, designed by architects The Manser Practice, a team with award-winning experience in the healthcare sector. The surgery will provide enough space for 16 GPs and is set to open to the public from March 2024.
Cllr Neil Nerva, Brent’s Cabinet Member for Public Health and Adult Social Care, said:
“I’m delighted that local people will benefit from such a brilliant and necessary local resource as part of the growth of the area.
“It’s really important that developers work with the council and local health services to ensure improvements being made to our neighbourhoods include all the necessary services and public realm infrastructure to meet the needs of both longstanding and new residents.
“This is an excellent example of what Brent has done to champion that sort of arrangement and will see Wembley Park provided with a state-of-the-art health facility that goes hand in hand with the council’s ambition to create a healthier Brent.”
James Saunders, Chief Executive of Quintain, said:
"This new GP surgery will increase high-quality healthcare provision in the borough of Brent for residents new and old in a purpose-built facility. From its inception, our masterplan at Wembley Park sought to provide everything local residents need to live healthy, happy lives in their neighbourhood.
“At Quintain, we believe that access to healthcare is a fundamental aspect of a thriving community, and we are proud to support the provision of these essential services. We look forward to continuing our efforts to support the health and wellbeing of both our Residents and our local community and to provide an exceptional quality of life in Wembley Park.”
The practice will join the growing number of fitness and healthcare amenities within the area, such as independent yoga studio More Yoga, bike specialists, Fix Your Cycle and Specsavers. Each Quintain Living building offers residents’ dedicated gym and work-out spaces whilst The Yellow, Wembley Park’s community centre, hosts free and low-cost community classes such as women's only fitness, parent and toddler groups and dance, encouraging people to meet and improve their wellbeing in a supportive environment.
